True. I called yesterday to get more info as I've seen Robert posting. Thought he may be back at work. Prayers
The Hippo is CITES 2 and only needs an export permit from country of origin. No import permit needed.
Hi guy's , anyone know if I need an import permit for hippo? I know I need one to export out of Africa.
Fantastic. That should do it. Thank you.@johnnyblues I can tell you that I imported one in December. (feet and tusks) I did not pay for or complete any paperwork above and beyond what was required for the other animals such as kudu, impala, bushbuck, duiker, cape buffalo, waterbuck. I did not pay more to Coppersmith for import on the Hippo's account. The export fees were the same. The dip and pack fees were the same.
So, while I don't know "what is required" I know that no special costs or time were required to get the hippo delivered to the USA.
